After the friendly match with the Vietnam team in Da Nang, the physical strength of the former players was significantly affected by unfavorable weather conditions. Therefore, the issue of rapid and comprehensive physical recovery, ensuring the best performance for the legends is given top priority.
Striker Michael Owen said he has suffered a serious injury and understands the importance of being diagnosed accurately and recovering properly. "The Tam Anh General Hospital system is fully equipped with the most modern equipment and experts with rich experience, especially in the field of Sports Medicine, from care to treatment that is very close to the world", Michael Owen shared.
According to MSc. Dr. Nguyen Quang Ton Quyen, Deputy Head of the Department of Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Trauma, Tam Anh Hanoi General Hospital, checking the health and evaluating the physical strength of the world's leading former Premier League players is a special task, requiring an in-depth and high-standard process. This is an opportunity for Vietnamese sports medicine to affirm its professional capacity and the ability to operate the system according to international standards. The athletes are familiar with personalized treatment regimens, modern technology and strict standards in Europe. Therefore, Tam Anh General Hospital has prepared professionally, equipment and care procedures to meet those strict requirements, Dr. Quyen shared.
At the Center for Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Trauma of Tam Anh General Hospital, the legends were examined in depth by a team of doctors with deep knowledge of sports medicine, who have studied in the US, France, Spain, Korea, etc. From there, the doctors proposed a suitable care and recovery strategy to help players achieve their best physical condition before the match, especially in the context of a fairly dense competition schedule.
According to Dr. Quyen, the testing process is carried out according to international competition standards for athletes, focusing on comprehensively assessing the motor system, cardiovascular, respiratory, coordination - reflex ability and performance indicators. In particular, the athletes were given a comprehensive cardiovascular health check-up with an electrocardiogram system and an AI- integrated 4D ultrasound, to test heart function in real-life exercise conditions. Immediate data analysis systems help detect early underlying abnormalities such as anemia, arrhythmia or the risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
At Tam Anh General Hospital, athletes experience assessment using modern equipment, helping to detect weak muscle groups, potential joint problems, ability to maintain balance... From there, doctors plan recovery interventions and adjust appropriate movements, reducing the risk of injury in the next matches.
Notably, the Compass 600 system helps test and train muscle strength, accurately measuring muscle balance, neurological - motor reflection, motor control and limb coordination. The data is analyzed using an intuitive chart to assess muscle strength and build a workout program suitable for each individual.
In addition, the famous players also experienced a series of advanced recovery technology and fitness assessments, only available at leading sports medicine centers in Vietnam such as: Artomot K1 (passive knee extender), automatic cycling robot, SONOPULS ultrasound therapy machine, along with shock absorbers, pulse electricity and new generation laser.
In particular, the most modern multi- frequency treatment machine Tecar Winback Back 4 has the ability to stimulate blood circulation and lymphoma, speed up the regeneration of muscles and tissues, help treat acute injuries, chronic pain and rehabilitation after surgery. These technologies help shorten recovery time, improve fitness and support the personalization of fitness recovery paths in the optimal way.
According to Dr. Quyen, these are all the most advanced technologies today, often only found in European sports medicine centers. At Tam Anh General Hospital, many famous players, professional athletes and even ordinary people have been cared for and treated with these modern technologies with outstanding efficiency.
At the end of the health and fitness test, Dr. Quyen said that the players were all in good health, with cardiovascular index, respiratory function, balance, and muscle strength at an ideal level, ready to enter the next match.
Teddy Sheringham expressed his admiration for the medical technologies that help extend the players' playing careers. "I wish I could experience such advanced technologies when I was still playing" the player shared.
Tam Anh General Hospital focuses on building a modern Sports Medicine Center in Vietnam, specializing in treatment and rehabilitation for professional athletes and sports players. Many famous athletes have been treated for injuries here and have returned to top-level competition.
At the friendly match on June 30 in Hanoi, Tam Anh General Hospital played the role of official health sponsor for the Manchester Reds legends. The hospital mobilizes a team of leading doctors from specialties such as Orthopedics, Sports Medicine, Cardiology, Emergency Resuscitation and an international-standard FIFA Medical Emergency room system ready to handle all situations on the field.
Within the framework of the Vietnam - UK Football Festival 2025, Tam Anh General Hospital accompanies Alipas, VNVC and JEX in the role of medical sponsor, contributing to raising the quality of Vietnamese sports medicine according to international standards.
